A JOURNEY WITH LA CALACA
a Day of the Dead experience.

Xolotl, god of monsters who guided the souls of the dead
on their journey to Mictlan, the underworld of the Mexica,
the name the ancient Aztecs gave themselves.
He is the twin of Quezalcoatl, the creator god, also known as
the morning star. Xototl was the evening star.
